Take the strip of any size you prefer, glue or sew a piece of nice lace / grosgrain / woven ribbon on it or embellish it with holiday wishes, then sqeeze a ribbon end clamp on the end, and thread some nice beads / charms and Christmas charms on a thin wire and hang it through the loop.

Instead of the usual paper gift tags, why not sit down with your sewing machine (your printer first) and make some adorable and unique gift tags / fabric postcards this year? Hungarian Mail may not be happy to handle these, but you can always hand them in person, put them in an envelope and send them by post, or just thread a nice ribbon in their eyelet and put this pretty gift tag on the wrapped present... I know it might not be an original idea (I saw some fabric poscards on the net some time ago), but you can always get inspiration and invent exciting details that make a handmade gift unique and personalized. I've made these for my family, and I'm sure they'll just love them!

Print the pics on the iron-on transfer sheets (Don't forget to mirror them!!!), iron them on the fabric, cut them out, sew together leaving a hole, fill them with polyfill (or sandwich batting between the two layers and sew them together), close the hole, if you want them to serve as gift tags, insert some eyelets (grommets) and thread some nice ribbon through the hole! That is all! You can use fancy glittery thread or just keep it simple. :)

You can edit some text and print it with the picture, do some nice embroidery, or write the names simply

with a permanent/ fabric marker. There are cute pics with holiday wishes already on, and pictures to be coloured by children with textile markers later on! And these are the darling pics from Graphics Fairy which are my ultimate favourites:

You will need:silver or other colour soft copper wire,scissors or nippers,round nose pliers, (optional:) ornaments, beads, thin soft wire. És így készül: This is how to make it:

ez lesz a fényképtartó csiga - to hold the place card

a gyöngyöket közvetlenül a drótra fűzhetjük, vagy vékony drótra, amit a karácsonyfánkra tekerünk - you can thread the beads directly onto the wire or thread little beads and ornaments onto thin wire and curl it around the mini Christmas tree

I found the free tutorial and pattern on Fleecefun, and instantly thought this would ake a perfect match for the ruflle scarf. I was not mistaken. :) Still in time for a Christmas gift! ;) Happy sewing! :)

And here is the cuff for little girls (above three years of age, of course)! Made like the cuff of the leather jewellery set, except that I cut a butterfly and a little flower from leather and used hotfix rhinestones to embellish (anything that glitters is... cool!) :) Succes was predictable. :)

Some more pics to come, provided I can bribe the girls to model for me! :D

I used scraps of leather scraps ;) to make these pieces of jewellery, as well as rivets, snaps and some jewellery findings (chain, filigree, jump rings and toggle clasp). Eventually I had to make one more set, because the cuff and the necklace weren't a perfect match.
